#### An elegant Apple Music desktop client

An elegant Apple Music desktop client. No frippery, just quality. A better class of Cider 🍎

Sidra is Apple Music as a proper desktop citizen on Linux, macOS, and Windows - wired into each platform's native media subsystem, not bolted on top.

Most Apple Music desktop clients break the audio, mangle the playback controls, or bury you under a custom UI that Apple never signed off on - the problem is worst on Linux. Sidra takes the opposite approach: wrap music.apple.com directly, stay out of the way, and let the audio through untouched. Apple owns the interface and keeps it current; Sidra inherits every improvement automatically.

🎧 Untouched audio - no AudioContext, no DSP, no resampling

🎨 Six bundled themes - Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Rosé Pine, and Solarized - plus a live-reloading custom.css escape hatch

📊 Last.fm scrobbling - opt-in; connect from the tray and approve Sidra in your browser

🎮 Discord Rich Presence - show what you are listening to

🔔 Desktop notifications - track changes, native to each platform

🌍 32 languages - localised storefront and interface

🧭 Back, Forward, and Reload - injected into both Apple Music and Apple Music Classical

🖱️ Scroll to change volume - point at the player bar volume control and scroll; 5% a notch

🎼 Apple Music Classical - switch at runtime from the tray Player submenu

🪟 Wayland and X11 support

🔊 Bi-directional MPRIS (`org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.sidra`) over D-Bus
